Based on the three-dimensional hydraulic head distribution model and the upper bound
theorem of the limit analysis, a new model was established to calculate the limit support …

The water leakage at segment joints of underwater shield tunnels has always been the
major concern and trouble to be dealt with in tunneling practices, not only for its threat to the …

Accurate predictions of the internal force of a tunnel lining (IFTL) and maximum ground
surface deformation (MGSD) are critical for avoiding unexpected accidents. This work …

Due to complex interactions between immersed tunnel and surrounding environment, it is
difficult to apply theoretical analysis for axial displacement (DIS) of immersion joints. To …

Most of the major cross-sea cluster projects in China, such as the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–
Macao bridge, Shenzhen–Zhongshan bridge, and Dalian Bay Tunnel, have adopted the …

In this paper, the impact of non-Darcy seepage on the steady seepage field in front of a
grouted subsea tunnel face is analysed. Analytical solutions are proposed by combining the …

Owing to the high chloride ion content in the service environment, corrosion of I-shaped
steel in the primary support of subsea tunnels is inevitable; this leads to the degradation of …

Subjected to high chloride ion content in subsea, underwater structure will be corroded in
different degree in the service environment, which will shorten the durability of the structure …

Ballast water systems are an indispensable part of the installation of immersed tunnels and
are utilized to increase or reduce the total weight of immersed tunnel elements in the …

To ensure the safety of subsea tunnel construction, it is crucial to prevent extreme
deformation of the surrounding rock. An assessment and prediction study on the …
